This Mappe Monde, created by French Royal Geographer Guillaume de L'Isle in 1720, follows the journeys of notable explorers such as St. Antoine, Mandana, and Quir, as well as Dutchmen Abel Tasman, from which Tasmania was named after. It was one of the first maps to portray California with a continuous coastline and to accurately display the tip of South America.
• Reproduction of Guillaume de L'Isles' 1720 world map, which was first published in Amsterdam.
• Giclée printed on archival paper with Sepia and Amber hues, featuring staining and mottling throughout, hallmarks of vintage paper.
• 9 prints mounted behind acrylic glass and black wood frames.
• The main map, sub maps, and cartouches are comprised of nine panels, each with romantic embellishments such as a merman and mermaid, tall masted ships, and mythological figures.
